I've been designing some wheel centres and am thinking about getting them machined. Does anybody know where you can get the inner and outer rim parts from? ideally in various widths.
The designs i've done are all 10" with 16 holes.

Looks like Mr Austin is the man for the job.
MB's are only 12 bolt and he doesn't appear to have the best rep.

What he means is that he is trying to get me to buy a 4-axis CNC Mill. He thinks he can justify it as I will also be able to make wheel centres as well as all the EFi stuff.

Unfortunately not a sheep in sight on mine!
So far all i've got are some rough sketches in Google Sketchup Pro, but i have "aquired" a working copy of solidworks 2010 today so will be exporting the .dwg's into that tonight to get them sorted properly.
I shall also be drawing up the mig's inlet manifold injector bosses if the old boy gives me his 2d drawings *happy*

This was the first attempt, I'll be making the sheep larger, and inverted on the next design. Also need to lose some more weight from them

Crikey, i asked for 10" not 10 foot!


I'm only looking at making a few sets(if any at all) for the mig and possibly some of our other minis so it'll probably be more cost effective to buy some ready made.
